GROVE CITY, Pa. – A team of Grove City College professors has been awarded more than $300,000 from the John Templeton Foundation for a three-year study on students’ attitudes and behaviors.
Drs. Joseph Horton, associate professor of psychology; Kevin Seybold, professor and chair of the psychology department; and Gary Welton, professor of psychology and director of institutional research, are heading the study. It focuses on more than 200 regional students from public, private and home-school settings, who are currently in the seventh and 10th grades. The researchers will study the same students again when they are in the ninth and 12th grades respectively. They will also collect data from one parent and one teacher for each student, in order to get three perspectives on the students’ behaviors.
The John Templeton Foundation was founded in 1987 and encourages discovery in areas addressing life’s biggest questions, such as the nature of love, gratitude, forgiveness and creativity. In 2006, the foundation gave out almost $60 million in grant awards.
